Art Dubai Returns To Madinat Jumeirah For Its 2025 Edition
Among the headline commissions at Art Dubai 2025 are a new series of performances and site-specific interventions by Mexican artist Héctor Zamora, and a major digital installation by Emirati artist Mohammed Kazem.
The 2025 installment of Art Dubai, the 18th edition of the Middle East’s leading international art fair, is all set to run from April 18-20 at Madinat Jumeirah, with it bringing together over 120 galleries across its core sections, including Art Dubai Modern, Art Dubai Digital, and Bawwaba.
In a statement, Pablo del Val, Art Dubai’s Artistic Director, said, “For nearly two decades, Art Dubai has played two complementary roles, as the region’s leading commercial art platform, and as a unique institution that is rooted in and significantly contributes to the local cultural ecosystem. This year’s program continues this long-term approach, working in partnership with local institutions, business, and government to create new opportunities for artists, and enhancing Dubai’s reputation as a center of innovation and thought leadership.”
Among the headline commissions at Art Dubai 2025 are a new series of performances and site-specific interventions by Mexican artist Héctor Zamora, as well as a major digital installation by Emirati artist Mohammed Kazem. A series of digital artworks will debut at the fair, responding to Art Dubai Digital’s theme, “After the Technological Sublime,” created by names like Ouchhh Studio, Breakfast, Jacopo Di Cera, Hybrid Xperience, and others.
Art Dubai 2025 will also play host to The Global Art Forum, under the theme, “The New New Normal,” will examine how constant change is reshaping global culture, economics, and identity. Meanwhile, the second edition of the Digital Summit at Art Dubai will discuss and debate how art and technology are addressing critical environmental, social, cultural, and political challenges.
The event will also stage Art Dubai Collector Talks, which shall offer a platform for collectors to discuss their passions, idiosyncrasies, unique perspectives, and provide intimate glimpses into their personal lives and inner worlds, as well as Art Dubai Modern Talks, an annual series of conversations that support the fair’s commitment to scholarship and under-explored art histories.
